7 years olds! WTF! [ link to asiancorrespondent.com] Why Thailand wants children to carry ID cards – an explanation attempt
One of the more smaller news stories of recent weeks was the new Identification Card Act. One of the act’s main aspects was to issue ID cards to children as young as seven, where previously the mandatory age to carry identification was 15. The only English language news source I found was this one, but only mentioned as a side note.
The question many might ask is why young kids need to carry an ID card with them around the time. There’re many countries in the world, e.g. Germany where I live, that requires its citizens and residents to carry an ID card and there’re as many countries that don’t have that and a driver’s license or similar documents are totally sufficient. But seven-year-old kids…?
